[Chorus]
Dbm7 Gdim7 Gbm
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
Bm7sus4 Dbm7
They stare at me while I stare at you
Dbm7 Gdim7 Gbm
Why can't I keep you safe as my own?
Bm7sus4 Dbm7
One moment I have you the next you are gone
Dbm7 Gdim7 Gbm
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
Bm7sus4 Dbm7
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage
Dbm7 Gdim7 Gbm
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
Bm7sus4 Dbm7
They stare at me while I crave you
[Verse 1]
(same chords as in chorus)
I walked into the room dripping in gold
Yeah dripping in gold
I walked into the room dripping in gold
Dripping in gold
A wave of heads did turn, or so I've been told
Or so I've been told
My heart broke when I saw you kept your gaze controlled
Oh I cannot solve
[Chorus]
(same as the first one)
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can't I keep you safe as my own?
One moment I have you the next you are gone
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I crave you
[Bridge]
(same chords)
It's true I crave you
Crave You
It's true I crave you
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
Let's just stop and think, before I lose face
Surely I can't fall, into a game of chase
Around his little finger, that boy has got me curled
I try to reach out, but he's in his own world
This boy's got my head tied in knots with all his games
I simply want him more because he looks the other way
[Chorus]
(same as the first one)
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can't I keep you safe as my own?
One moment I have you the next you are gone
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I crave you
